See Meghan Markle in Awe of Her Own Wedding Dress on Camera

We have been eagerly anticipating Meghan Markle’sfirst on-camera interview, since she became the Duchess of Sussex, ever since it was announced last month she would be taking part in Queen of the World, a documentary focused on, yes, the Queen. The special will be airing in the U.K. on September 25 (and in the U.S., on HBO, on October 1), and we’ve been gifted with a tease of Meghan’s appearance, in a very brief trailer released this week.

Now, this interview was never going to be an in-depth Oprah-style back-and-forth about her family drama and her dynamic with the royals and what she really makes of all the pomp and circumstance (someday, please!), but the split-second of Meghan footage here indicates she is going to be on camera with her . . . wedding dress, for at least some portion of the interview. In the clip in the teaser, we see Meghan (with an interviewer) looking at the Givenchy gown, which Meghan partly helped to design with Claire Waight Keller. Meghan says, upon examining the veil, “53 countries, oh my goodness. It’ll keep us busy!” which makes sense when you remember that the veil has the “distinctive flora” of each of the 53 countries of the Commonwealth woven into it.

Meghan is wearing the same Roland Mouret dress on camera that she wore the night before the royal wedding, which has led some outlets to wonder if the footage was actually filmed the day or night before the wedding.

The documentary also looks like it’ll include some “classic” Prince Harry dry humor, as he is seen making a joke about running into the Queen “in the corridor.” The entire teaser is also set to Vanessa Carlton’s pop classic “A Thousand Miles,” which we assume starts playing from above, at this point, whenever Meghan and Harry walk into a room together.
